Blue Grass and Fireflies
Something about this guy’s art makes me unable to stop flipping through his tumblr. I’m not sure what it is. I don’t spend much time looking at any single piece, but I can’t stop going forward to the next page.
I think it must be his ability to capture a single moment. Especially the ones depicting him and his family - his wife or his children.

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.
This guy is so… awesome. Amazing. Inspiring.
